There are two things that I find very rare on the internet, talent and hardwork. When a site comes along that has both I latch onto it immediatly, as was the case with 2P Start. As you all know I had Tim and Ray on episode 90 of the podcast. They were two of the nicest guys on the planet and were a pleasure to have on the show. I knew after listening to their podcasts and reading their comics that these were guys that worked hard to make quality content and that I wanted to chat with them.
Sadly 2P Start ended a couple days ago. It looked like it was headed that direction for a couple weeks and fears were confirmed with comic #171. The site was a shinning example of what webcomic artists, podcasters, and bloggers should try to be and I’ll be sad to see them go. I know we gained a lot of new listeners from Tim and Ray’s interview and for that I’m forever thankful.
After editing this podcast I realized there’s some things you probably need to know to understand some of the jokes and discussions. Here’s some things to remember:
There. Now you can get all the jokes. This week I was joined by Tim and Ray from 2P Start. The episode turned out awesome if I do say so myself. The interview is really enjoyable to listen to and I was able to actually make the background music match what we were talking about in this episode. I think need to stick to Nintendo games and Star Wars for the rest of our discussions from here on out. That way the music will always match.
Be sure to listen to hear Tim and Ray discuss how they met and started the comic, what goes into making a good comic, good games and bad games, and of course one of Ray’s trademark Sonic rants. Man it felt good to get in on one of those. Oh and Walrus King quit. But that’s fine. I never liked him anyway.
Although we didn’t announce it in the episode (time paradox, don’t ask questions), Walrus King and I will be recording an audio commentary track for the 1998 “classic” Godzilla. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaly not looking foreward to it. But hey FT hit her goal so we’re doing our part. We’ll also be video taping it and editing together the best bits and reations from us. Gotta say out of all the options I thought this one would come in dead last. Evidently you guys love shattering childhood memories.
Lastly here’s the video mentioned in the episode. FAIL. Proof that you don’t need hunks of plastic to make the game better.

Chances are you listened to our most recent episode. If you haven’t you probably should. It’s good. We discussed things and stuff. And it was Halloweeny. Sorry got off point.
Anyway as we announced last episode, Ray and Tim from 2P Start are going to be on our show to be interviewed! It’s going to be great and I can’t wait for all of you to hear it. The episode will be going out this Friday (witch is technically our Halloween episode because it’s on Halloween but we had our actual Halloween episode the week before and if I keep trying to figure this out my head is going to explode).
In the mean time you can check out Tim and Ray’s comics here and their podcasts here. I’ll also be starting a countdown this Friday leading up to Halloween Day. With what? You’ll find out soon… TENSION!
